Island Apollo Interview: Band Holds It Down With Latest Single

Posted in Artist to Check Out, Indie, interview, Music, Put This On Your Radar, Song of the Day by

Good Morning Music Lovers! Would you like some great new music to fill your ears with? Of course you do, why else would you be here?!  Today I would like to introduce you to an up-and-coming Orange County band, Island Apollo. The band is made up of five members: Ryan Kilpatrick (Vocals & Guitar), Matty champagne (Drums),  Addam Farmer (Bassist), Heath Farmer (Guitarist), and Austin Farmer (keyboardist).  The band has released a new song, a follow-up to their 2015 self titled “Island Apollo” EP. At first listen, I absolutely loved “Hold It Down” and it just kept getting better with time. The mixture of the southern grunge guitar sound and crisp clear vocals gives them a sound all their own, can you dig it?!

I was lucky enough to interview the band and ask a handful of questions so we could get to know them a little better. Their answers even helped me digest their music a little differently knowing their background and musical influences. Check out the interview and their latest song “Hold It Down” below…

Posted in Music by

Okay people! I have been waiting for this day since August of last year and it is officially here!! The 2012 Lollapalooza line-up is finally here and I could not have thought up a better one! Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Shins, The Black Keys, Temper Trap, METRIC, Jack White, Santigold, Passion Pit, Kaskade, M83, and plenty more! Well it could be improved with Bon Iver and Radiohead but hey, the one band I had been hoping and praying would be there…will be! I am talking about Metric of course! It’s really perfect timing too seeing as their new album “Synthetica” will be out June 12! I couldn’t be happier right now but what I want to know is..what do YOU think of the line-up? What bands do you think would make it better?!?
